I love Deloused and Francis. Those two albums blew my mind the first time I heard them, and I still haven't heard anything else like them (including from The Mars Volta's discography ). I think their most recent album sounded like they needed a break, but hopefully they'll get back together at some point. I've never seen them live, but I really want to.

Definitely bad news, I think they were one the better bands from recent years.

I'm happy I had the chance to see them live six months ago in Israel when they opened the tour for Noctourniquet. That wasn't a good show, they weren't in good shape. The show contained a lot if improvised jamming but not good ones anyway. The last song was a slow version of Goliath, it just showed they weren't ready yet or didn't care about playing there. Still I'm happy I saw them.

Quite disappointing news, but we have 6 six absolutey remarkable albums by them. Well, Amputecture has some bigger letdowns, but it's still pretty good.At least they split without releasing a weak album.

I am disappointed in this news. Although I agree they've been steadily declining, I've still been looking forward to their releases.

So...I've been aware of Omar's numerous side projects, but I haven't checked them out yet, in part because there are so many. I've been reluctant because I've found that usually when an artist sh*ts out project after project the quality usually suffers. I was content just to follow The Mars Volta, but, well...Anyway, is any of his stuff worth checking out? I'm looking for prog, not pop, and after listing to that Bosnian Rainbows single I can already tell that that band is not for me. But I'm willing to check out whatever. Or Cedrick's thing for that matter.
